Re: What have you opened this week?
There has been a lot of discussion about the 85's recently, specifically the Fonseca and Taylors. Will you be sharing your thoughts on this bottle, Roy?

1977 Taylors. Not the best bottle I've had, but still a very nice one. Actually gained color with air.

No, it was very, very nice, and I was quite happy with it. I've just had a few better ones. ![Toast [cheers.gif]](./images/smilies/cheers.gif)

Did this bottle have the flat spot on the top of the bottle, what looks like a broken corner off the top edge?Tom Archer wrote:Noval 10yr old - bottled in 1985. Sadly my last one, these just keep getting better and better...

Re: What have you opened this week?
They're calling it rainageddon up here, not quite living up to the hype though. How's the bottle, have 3 more that I bought for my little brothers birth year. He wasn't super impressed with the one I opened on his 21st.Andy Velebil wrote:Just decanted a 1992 Graham's Malvedos for tonight. It's actually gonna rain tonight in So.

Rain just started so that's good. And your brothers got a good Port palate. I agree with him.Bradley Bogdan wrote:They're calling it rainageddon up here, not quite living up to the hype though.
